Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque—composed of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances—inside the arteries. This accumulation narrows and hardens the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. The process begins with damage to the arterial wall, often due to high blood pressure, smoking, or high cholesterol levels. Over time, the damaged areas attract inflammatory cells, which contribute to plaque formation and arterial stiffening. Symptoms may vary depending on the affected arteries; however, many individuals may be asymptomatic until the disease progresses significantly. Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, or angiography. Management includes lifestyle changes, medications to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and, in some cases, surgical procedures to restore proper blood flow and reduce cardiovascular risks.
